C.5 Encoder
C.5.1 Configuration of the encoder AB signals
The A and B signal of the encoder need to be connected to LineIn0 and LineIn1. It can be
connected in either way.
1. Configure the LineFormat of LineIn0 and LineIn1 according to the encoder output standard.
2. Configure EncoderSourceA and EncoderSourceB of the EncoderControl respectively. One must
be LineIn0 and the other LineIn1 or vice versa, depending how the encoder is connected
to the camera.
3. Configure EncoderMode , EncoderDivider and EncoderOutputMode accordingly.
C.5.2 Configuration of the encoder Z signal
If used, the encoder Z signal must be connected to LineIn2. The Z signal can be used to reset
the encoder
1. Configure the
LineFormat
of
LineIn2
according to the encoder output standard.
2. If the Z signal is used to reset the encoder, the EncoderResetSource must be set to LineIn2 .
C.5.3 Configuration of the encoder ALARM signal
If used, the encoder ALARM signal must be connected to LineIn3. The IO standard of this input
is
TTLTerminated120 and can’t be changed.
1. The LineIn3 must be inverted by setting the
LineInverter
to
True
, when the ALARM signal
is low active.
2. Set the
EncoderAlarmMode
to
True
.
3. The parameter
EncoderAlarmUpdate
needs to be performed in order to get current value of
EncoderAlarmStatus .
4. When an alarm has occured the parameter EncoderAlarmAcknowledge will acknowledge the
pending alarm.
